Ming Yuan, Relocated Ming dynasty building complex in Jingdezhen, China

Ming Yuan is a heritage site in Jingdezhen's Changjiang District, within the Ancient Kiln Folklore Expo Area, made up of seven Ming dynasty buildings relocated from Fuliang County. Its entrance is the Xiatian Lumen gate, a rare surviving Ming gatehouse; inside are the Yaoli shop, the three-hall Wugu ancestral hall, and residences linked to Wang Bai, his brother, Jinda and the Wang family of Taoshu.

Ming Yuan gathers seven Ming-dynasty buildings moved to the Jingdezhen Ancient Kiln Folklore Expo Area from villages in Fuliang County. The Wugu Ancestral Hall, the fifth branch hall of the Wang family, dates no later than the Jiajing reign, and the residences of Wang Bai and of the top scholar Jin Da belong to the same period. The site was listed as a Jiangxi provincial cultural relic in 1987 and among the seventh batch of national key cultural relic protection units in 2013.

Ming Yuan gathers seven Ming-dynasty buildings moved here from villages across Fuliang County, including the late-Ming Yaoli Shop built by the Cheng family and the Wugu Ancestral Hall, the Wang clan's fifth branch hall, with front hall, offering hall and rear chamber. The Xiatian Lumen Gate, a rare surviving Ming gatehouse, now serves as the entrance.

Ming Yuan sits at No. 1 Guyao Road on Cidu Avenue in Changjiang District, inside the Jingdezhen Ancient Kiln Folklore Expo Area. The Xiatian Lumen Gate, moved here from Xia Tian Village in Fuliang County, now serves as the entrance, so visitors pass through a Ming gatehouse before reaching the other six buildings.

Ming Yuan is not a garden but an assembly of seven Ming-dynasty buildings moved here from villages across Fuliang County. The gate, the Xiatian Lümen, is a rare surviving Ming gatehouse; the Wugu Ancestral Hall, built no later than the Jiajing reign, has three halls in sequence.
